Shayla at Red Rocks
Between a Red Rock and a Red Hard Place

Has it been that looooong! Ow yes Shay it has!!

Where do I start? Well how about 5 months ago? … Here’s the short and sweet version. …

Starting in April – Aug ish I was living in a construction zone. I had some remodeling done to my house and it took forever!! Thank goodness that’s over!! I volunteered at a retirement community planting Permaculture (agroforestry) gardens. Hard work but, so rewarding!! It was so cool, the residents started all of the plants from seed. We created / planted the gardens, and the kitchen produced delicious organic meals for the residents. I love gardening and I learned so much, I now have a Permaculture garden too.

As you all know I love concerts, especially at Red Rocks. … This year I only made it to 2 at RR — Gotye Aug 22 (one of the most amazing individual artists I have ever witnessed — AMAZING!), and Brit Floyd (last week). They were really good, but I hear the Australian Floyd is a lot better. … I’ll have to see for myself!! On May 7th I saw Roger Waters at the Pepsi Center. … Honestly, after that everything pales in comparison. I could see that show again and again!!!! Speaking of Again … July 26 a group of us went to see Neil Diamond. … My mom loves him, and my sis and I grew up with his songs. So it has become a tradition. … When he’s in town we GO!!

I spent time with family — went to the museum and saw Yves S.t Laurent. Denver was so lucky to get that exhibit!!!  Leonardo da Vinci has come to town, so that’s next!! I have been traveling quite a bit and shot a few movies (web content also) —  as you know from E’s helpful Blog updates. … Thank u!!!

Sept 8 – 15 I went on an Alaskan Cruise with my Mom and Aunt. OMG … It was breathtaking. I will def. be taking many more trips there. I’ll put together a blog with more details and pix.

I have been canning — peaches from Palisades, pickles from the garden, and finished my 1st round with jams — grape and plum from my yard, along with apricots from a friend. I even made my 1st serviceberry pie, which turned out GREAT if I do say so myself!!

Last weekend I trimmed all of the flowers, cut and hung all of my herbs to dry … basil, lavender, sage and oregano. Yesterday I went on one of the last fall hikes of the season.  It was so beautiful, and the sights, sounds (Aspen leaves), and smells of fall are amazing!! Snow and rain are rollin’ in tomorrow. … Brrrrrrr!!!! I see a hot toddy and a fire in my future. … Anyone want to join me?

Live Love and Laugh,

Shayla.com Update Alert (09/16/12)

If you had assumed that all the pictures of Shayla LaVeaux posing on the old Ashton View Couch worth enjoying had already been published, you were mistaken. Referring back to Shayla.com Update Alert (06/20/12), I neglected to credit Maverick as shooter of that photo set. However, we now have photographic evidence of him as the man responsible.

The above photo plus the other 60 from that set are included in the most recent update at Shayla.com. D. Minion also composed the text story for the piece, which serves as an after action report regarding that particular photo shoot. Lest I forget, Shayla’s long anticipated play session (04:42) on the old AVC is one of the two video components in this update. The other video is a shorter (01:38) BTS of Shayla chatting away as they prep the primary camera — which to her surprise was already shooting!

Remember me writing how Risque.com has their own content updates and every so often Shayla LaVeaux material is included them?

In this update by D. Minion, she imparts her perspective of Shayla’s July trip to Las Vegas. The BTS photo set she posted has 52 images, 34 of which depict Shayla in various modes of (un)dress. To represent the update I could have selected a picture of Shayla dining, drinking, or lounging about Las Vegas lounges, but instead chose the one above showing Chris King, whose photos made up the 08/01/12 update at Shayla.com. I selected it because the piece is (unintentionally?) hilarious from a compositional standpoint. Also note that Mr. King injured his left leg while on this assignment. True artists suffer for their craft, you see. Thanks, Dude.

At the turn of the century the major Adult companies used to demonstrate pretense toward artistic relevance by realeasing at least one big-budget story-driven feature right before the AVN Awards deadline. Jill Kelly Productions’ BIG release for 2001 was IMMORTAL, a mash-up of XANADU (1980) and WINGS OF DESIRE (1987). The photo set in this update was from the Shayla LaVeaux component of the IMMORTAL promotional poster series. Each of the JKP contract girls cast as Greek Muses posed against a blank screen, which allowed photo editors to photoshop them together later in a CGI cloud representing the perpetually cloudy Mt. Olympus. There were so many pictures taken that JKP was able to recycle the shots for other projects, such as the box art for SHAYLA’S FANTASIES (2001). IMMORTAL had an unprecedented amount of FX for a porn video, which so delayed completion that SHAYLA’S FANTASIES ended up being released first. Another reason for the delay was that Shayla’s sex scene was cut from IMMORTAL after she quarreled with director Michael Raven, despite her significant presence in all promotional material.

The video component is from the unrelated JKP release SHAYLA DOWN UNDER (2001); Scene 5 to be specific. Selected, probably, as a tribute to the movie’s director/producer/co-star, Shayla’s then-husband, Anthony, to whom I wish a belated….
